MY MOM OUTED ME OVER THANKSGIVING DINNER
Written by Miss Bliss on January 24, 2008 – 2:03 pm -BRUNCH STORIES FROM MIAMI PART II
“I have two friends who are bisexual - they really wanted to come today but had other obligations - but they are going to be sad they missed this.”
Five brilliant, beautiful bi-girls have gathered together on a Saturday morning for brunch, community and friendship. The sun is bright in South Beach, Miami, and the art deco diner is full of people. In a large circular corner booth we share cocktails and stories.
“You have two bisexual friends,” Bianca asks. “Gosh, I don’t know anyone who’s bi.”
“Well, actually,” Nikki says in a sexy tone, “awhile ago, my friends and I created a scale to determine how bisexual we really are. We were drinking and it was late, and I don’t know how it came up, but we decided to make a scale from 1 to 10. 1 being completely heterosexual, 10 being completely gay. So, a five is someone who is truly right-down-the-middle, has no gender preference, bisexual.”
“Okay,” says Marina with a smile, “so what number are you?”
Nikki laughs, “I am a 7. Meaning, more often I’m attracted to girls, but I still like boys. One friend was an 8 the other decided she’s a 5.5. Now, we don’t know what that .5 means, but she certainly seemed to!”
“I wonder what number I am,” muses Bianca. “Can you know if you haven’t been with a girl yet?”
“Maybe you’re a 5.5, too,” I joke and the girls laugh.
“Oh my God, you guys, I have some big news to share.” The table quiets and focuses the attention back on Nikki’s beguiling smile. “A couple of months ago, I came out to my mother.”
“Wow. How did it go,” I ask.
“Great. She says, ‘I pretty much guessed it already’, then she goes and tells me all of these examples from childhood that showed I had ‘tendencies’” The table laughs. “She was really great about it, and she’s my best friend, so it just felt really good to tell her.”
“That is so impressive to me,” I say. “I haven’t come out to my parents, but I think I’m getting closer.”
“The funny thing is, over Thanksgiving, Mom outs me to the entire family.”
“What,” says Bianca.
“You were there,” asks Marina.
“No, thank God! But I guess Mom was just so excited to have a not-straight daughter that over turkey and potatoes she let it drop. I can only imagine her there, saying, ‘Oh, and now that you are all here, guess what? Nikki’s bisexual.’”
“What did your family do?”
“They might have been surprised but everyone’s fine with it now.”
“Your Mom is amazing,” Bianca says.
I say, “That is so sweet that she is so proud of you and who you are.”
“Yes,” Nikki says, “I am really lucky.”

I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE
Written by Miss Bliss on January 22, 2008 – 10:29 am -MIAMI BRUNCH STORIES, PART 1
“I have a confession to make.”
All eyes turn to study the petite and curvy Latina girl with cropped hair and elegantly painted nails. Five bi-women have gathered in South Beach, Miami, for conversation, friendship and community, but before we begin, Bianca must share a secret with us.
“I’ve never been with a girl,” she says. She looks at us, half-expecting us to ask her to leave because she’s “not really bi”.
“Oh, sweet girl,” I say, “There are so many girls on Bliss Warrior who’ve never been with girls. Lots of women know they want a sexual experience with a woman, but just haven’t had the chance.”
“Really? I’m not the only one?” Bianca smiles in delight, and confesses, “I’ve never even kissed a girl, not really. But I am curious - really, really curious. So curious that I know I must be bi, but I’m just not sure how I know that. I mean, I have no idea how I’d meet a girl or how anything with a girl would ever happen. I have no clue. But in my fantasies, I know what I want.”
Marina is a stunning pouty-lipped Asian girl with a wry, sensual smile. Born and raised in Miami, she has the vibe of an experienced bi-girl, but she reveals she is not much more experienced than Bianca. “I’ve never gone all the way with a girl,” she says and Bianca relaxes. “I’ve kissed girls and stuff, you know, fooled around at clubs, but not much else.”
“But you know you are bi,” Bianca asks.
“Sure,” she shrugs.
“I did have one experience,” Bianca says. The second round of mimosas and bloody marys go down easy and conversation is flowing. “When I was in high school, I had a best friend and she was just beautiful. A gorgeous girl, really. The school threw a ski trip and you could decide to share a cabin with six people or you could pay more to get your own. So my friend and I decided to pay more so we could have our own cabin. We were so excited, you know, and packed some of our prettiest nightgowns because we planned on - you know - inviting boys over.”
Bianca giggles and the women ask her to continue her story.
“Well, both of us ended up liking the same guy. One night the three of us are hanging out in the cabin and he starts kissing my friend. I saw that as a clear sign that he was into her and not me, so I was going to go, when all of the sudden, my friend plants a kiss on my lips. I didn’t know what to do. I freaked and ran out of the cabin.”
“Oh, sweet girl, you must have been shocked,” I say.
“I was! Because she was so pretty and it just scared me!” Bianca takes another sip of her mimosa. “Later on that night, he was gone and we were getting ready for bed. She was wearing this black satin nightgown with tiny spaghetti straps and the funny thing was, my nightgown was also black with the same little straps.”
“You were twins,” says Nikki, my gorgeous African-American co-host, as charmed by Bianca’s stories as I am.
“We were. That night was really strange. There we are out camping, and we’re from Queens, you know, we are city girls, and suddenly we start hearing all these scary noises. We don’t know if there are animals out there or what, but we are both completely terrified. So my friend says to me, ‘Will you sleep with me in my bed?’ I’m so scared of whatever’s outside that I climb into bed with her. She has me spoon around her and I hold her in my arms and her nightgown feels so nice against mine.” Bianca pauses.
“Did you get any sleep at all that night,” Nikki asks and the table laughs.
“No,” Bianca says with dramatic flair. “Oh my God, I was so turned on I couldn’t sleep a wink. And the funny thing is, after the trip, we never talked about any of it. Not the kiss, not sleeping in the same bed. It was like nothing had ever happened, except I couldn’t stop thinking about it.”
“Darling,” I say to her, “you haven’t been with a girl yet, but you are definitely bi.”
The table laughs, more drinks are served, and more stories are shared.
XOXOXOXOXOXXO
